1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionDeranged glycaemic control is common post-stroke, increasing risks of recurrent stroke and development of diabetes. The aim of the study is to examine glucose metabolism in relation to body composition, physical activity and sedentary time post-stroke. PATIENTS AND

methodsObservational study: Non-diabetic adults, unable to walk independently, were recruited within 2 weeks of first stroke. Primary outcome: 2-h glucose level (mmol/l, oral glucose tolerance test), assessed at baseline and 6 months. Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Sensitivity, total body fat and lean mass (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), sedentary time (lying or sitting), standing and walking (PAL2 accelerometer) were assessed at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months. Generalised estimating equations were used to examine change over time and associations between outcome measures.

resultsThirty-six participants (69.5 years (standard deviation 11.7), 13 (36.1%) female, moderate stroke severity (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale 11.5 (interquartile range 9.75, 16)). Within 6 months, adjusting for age and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, every month 2-h glucose reduced by 4.5% (

conclusionReducing sedentary time and fat mass within 6 months of stroke may improve glucose tolerance and insulin resistance.
